"What you did was unacceptable, Student Nin. And to top it off, this is the second time today!" Frihdeicalkbr said to me before he slammed a fist on the table.
"They're responsible..." I growled to him as I struggled against these magic restraining chains.
"Who are responsible!?"
"FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FRIEND! TO MY PRECIOUS FRIEND!" I scream at him hysterically as I started to lash out despite the chains.
"And your proof?" he asked me with a grim tone as he sat down in his chair again.
"THEY WEREN'T THERE!" I screamed at him. How could he not understand this!? This happens after they fail to show up when they said they would!? WHAT MORE TO IT WAS THERE!?
"A claim is not proof." he sighs out as I continued to struggle. Only to lash out more when someone entered the room. It was her, the lead of that group! The one behind it all!
"N-Nin... It wasn't us! I swear it! We just got the time wrong is all! We did perform! We can show you the record-"
"STOP LYING TO ME! YOU WEREN'T THERE! AND WITH YOUR WOUNDED PRIDE! YOU TRIED TO KILL HER!" I interrupt before Frihdeicalkbr suddenly smashes a glass orb on me. Whatever was in it, it had that magic from a long time ago in it. That magic they used to suppress emotions... Unlike last time, however, I could not break free of it.
"Look, I will make this clear for you! You are at the very edge of the mountain and it is starting to break! If anything like this happens again then you will be expelled from Suhurlodst Academy of Arcane Learning and Understanding! The protection your tenureship offers will be gone and you will be exterminated by the proper authorities!" my Head of House warns before he leans back with a sigh.
"I can't just leave this as is." I say to him with a calm tone as I tried to hype myself out of this state.
"And you will need to! Not only is vigilantism illegal in Thrurstradtur! So is interfering with a maximum priority investigation! You will be killed, Student Nin!"
"My life matters very little without her..."
"HOW DARE YOU!" the woman shouts, "YOUR FRIENDS HAVE BEEN WORRIED FOR YOU NON-STOP! EVEN THE SCHOOL WHICH RIGHTFULLY HATES YOU HAS SYMPATHY AT THE VERY LEAST FOR YOUR SITUATION! STOP BEING SO SELFISH AND DON'T THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY!"
"Student Clarman, that's enough." Frihdeicalkbr tells her before he gently guides her out the room.
"Selfish...?" I ask myself before I am left in here on my own. What was selfish about what I was doing...? I was trying to save my friend. The woman I loved...
I wanted to help her, to save her. Like she did for me so many times. She brought back my will to live and made sure I would escape my unfair entry terms. Even if you boiled it all down, I was doing this for someone else.
There was nothing selfish about that... But, I guess, for now, I had to bide my time, somehow. Maybe I just had to somehow go about this calmly...? Yet, I wasn't sure how that was going to work.
This was not something one could go about calmly... When that blood suddenly spurted on the glass at the hospital. I could tell I was being taunted... That man knew I cared for her...
So was this a personal vendetta against me...? But I did not see how that worked out...
